“Overpriced - no amenities - definitely not worth the money!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We knew going in, the being the closest open lodge to the north rim, it would be pricey, but we were sorely disappointed. The staff was insulted that I even asked about a television in the room. It was cold and most travelers prefer to relax in their room and have the ability to check weather reports, etc. There was no phone, not even the shampoos one expects to find in comparable priced accomodations. We were told we had a great view of the meadow & MAY see a deer. The rooms were clean, but the heater clanged so loudly all night, we didn't get much rest. Were sorry we didn't stay at Jacob Lake & just drove the 20 extra miles the next morning!

Room Tip: Stay somewhere else!

“Location, Location, Location - Rustic But Clean”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2011

person found this review helpful

This hotel was the closest option to the North Rim when we were there - the Grand Canyon Lodge had already closed for the season. We were in the handicapped room and it was large and clean. There was one double bed and one twin bed in the room and both were adequate. There was television and sporadic Internet access in the lodge only - none in the rooms. The lodge is homey with one side being a restaurant and the other side with plenty of tables and chairs near a television, a big couch in front of a fireplace, and a small gift shop area. The restaurant was pretty good. It doesn't pretend to be anything it's not...it's a remote and rustic lodge that provides good food, a warm and clean place to sleep, and a chance to experience the North Rim as it really is! We were happy to have been there!

“Great location to the North Rim.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2011

We stopped here while visiting the North Rim due to the location of the hotel. Since it is off season, they didn't have a lot of rooms available so they put us in the handicapped room for $150 per night. The room is updated, fairly comfortable bed, yes the heater is noisy but you get used to it. Very clean, lots of fresh towels but what really sells this hotel is the location. We were very happy to have chosen it after hiking out from the rim after sunset, it was about 45 minutes from the trail head. The attached restaurant had very good and reasonable food, with excellent service. We appreciated the fact they were open until 10 PM! The breakfast omelets were amazing and kept us full until mid afternoon! Very nice staff, even though they were getting ready to close for the season, they were all friendly and helpful. Would return again when visiting the North Rim.

“Honeymooners”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 October 2011

I knew this wasn't going to be a super comfy place to stay when I read the other reviews. And for the location it was fine. I mean, very rustic, blankets/sheets not very cozy/warm, very sparse. again, its the location that works so well here. the restaurant staff however was very friendly and helpful and the food wasn't that bad, but it wasn't that great either. but you are hungry and not much else to choose from out there. So if its just for one night or two its ok.

Room Tip: Whatever is avail, they only had one cabin avail when we stayed there, we had no choice.

“not worth the money”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2011

We needed a place close, on short notice, for our mule ride the following morning, too bad we stayed here. Way over priced, the restaurant staff was bickering with each other, and the cabin furnace/heater was so noisy you couldn't sleep. Should have driven the extra hour and gotten up at 5am.

Room Tip: Go somewhere else!
